    System Memory ( DIMM Module) This 6M810C main board supports two 168 pins DIMM of 16 MB, 32 MB, 64 MB, 128 MB ,256MB to form a memory size between 16MB to 256MB. The DRAM can be either Intel PC100-compaliant SDRAMs.
  • Page 15: Dimm Memory Installation

    DIMM Memory Installation Insert the module (s) as shown. Because the number pins are differ- ent on either side of the breaks,the module will only fit in the orienta- tion as shown. SDRAM DIMM modules have different pin contacts on each side and therefore have a higher pin density. 168 Pin DIMM Socket K / B JP13...

  • Page 17: Cpu Installation

    CPU Installation The motherboard provides a ZIF socket 370. The CPU that came with the motherboard should have a fan attached to it to prevent overheating . If this is not the case then purchase a fan before you turn on your system. To install a CPU , first turn off your system and remove its cover.
  • Page 18 CPU External (Bus) Frequency Selection -JP13 Current PCI bus in limited to 33MHz, socket370 processors limited to 66MHz, and SDRAM limited to the DIMM type 66/100/133MHz. (66MHz SDRAM is not supported on this motherboard.) Other set- tings are for experienced users only. NOTE: Most of the CPU frequency are locked by the manufacturer.
  • Page 19 Wake On Keyboard -JP1 This allows you to disable or enable the keyboard power up function.Set to enable if you want to use your keyboard (by press <Spacebar> to power up your computer. This feature re- quires an ATX power supply that can supply at least 300mA on the +5VSB lead and the new ACPI BIOS support.
  • Page 20 Safe Mode (SAFE_MD) -JP17 Usually socket 370 processors have locked frequency multiples. In this case, there is no way to exceed the specified multiple whether through motherboard setting or BIOS setup. With un- locked socket 370 processors, exceeding the specified multiple is possible through BIOS setup.

  • Page 22: Clearance Requirements

    Clearance Requirements To maintain proper airflow once the processor is installed on the mainboard, the processor and fan heatsink require certain space clearances. The clearance above the processor must be at least 0.3 inch. The clearance on at least 3 of 4 sides of the processor and fan heatsink must be at least 0.2 inch.
  • Page 23: External Connectors

    EXTERNAL CONNECTORS Both Ribbon cable and Connectors on board are with direction signs to avoid that user insert wrong direction. On other hand, the ribbon cables should always be connected with the red stripe on the pin 1 of side of the connector. MIDI/(GAME) Port Parallel (Printer) Port (25-pin Female)
  • Page 24 1. PS/2 AT Keyboard port This connection is for a standard keyboard using an PS/2 plug (mini DIN) . This connector will not allow standard at AT size (large DIN) keyboard plugs. You may use a DIN to mini DIN adapter on standard AT keyboards.
  • Page 25 8. FAN1 , FAN2 CPU Cooling Fan (FAN1,2) These connectors support cooling fans of 500mAmp (6Watt) or less. Orientate the fans so that the heatsink fins allow airflow to go across the onboard heat sink(s) instead of the expansion slots. Depending on the fan manufacturer, the wiring and plug may be different.
